NikonZ50 Body Mirrorless Camera (209-point Hybrid AF, High speed image processing, 4K UHD movies, High Resolution LCD Monitor) VOA050AE

I have no plans for a full DPReview of this camera - you wouldn’t expect me to either I think - so I’ll cover a couple of points that are not covered elsewhere.First - the companion app is Nikon SnapBridge. WMU won’t work for this camera but you will need WMU for other cameras, even as recent as the D750.Pairing this in SnapBridge is not difficult but it looks like it doesn’t work at first - what you have to do is follow the instructions and when the Select Accessory dialog opens on your phone you have to WAIT until the camera appears and that can take 1-2 minutes.Check the firmware is up to date - there may well be a new one as it is changing quickly.In use the camera handles well, the pancake lens is tiny and the camera would almost fit in a pocket with that lens on. The long lens is nice too - though neither one is super-wide aperture and there will be better lenses, but they are the only DX z-mount lenses at the moment. But then 16mm - 250mm is a good range!

Being a professional, I have Full Frame (Nikon) APS-C (Nikon) and M4/3 (Olympus) systems, dedicated for different purposes. This Nikon Z50 APS-C combination hits a sweet spot in performance and mobility and - at its ridiculous price when purchased - astounding value for money.The camera is simple, ergonomically excellent, rugged and offers excellent IQ with notable high-ISO performance; I can routinely use at ISO 800 or above with minimal or no noise penalty. It's very nearly as good as my Z6. Excellent! This is all a result of not pimping the pixel count; 20MP is more than enough for the vast majority of shooting circumstances.The 16-50 is a little revelation - superb and consistent IQ in a ridiculously, tiny package; it's equivalent would be the 24-70 F4 Z Nikkor in Nikon Z FF and the 12-32 F3.5/5.6 in M4/3. I love it.The 50-250 is less startling, although it's still very compact for what it offers in range. I prefer a Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR here, with FTZ adaptor - although it's bigger and more expensive, the IQ difference is notable, especially at the tele end of things. But don't get me wrong, the kit tele lens is still a little sweetie.So, what's not to like? In a word, lens selection and no IBIS. The two kit lenses are excellent and fulfill 95% of shooting situations. However, they're both slow and - even with effective in-lens IS - I miss the Z50s lack of IBIS. Plus the lens selection sucks right now. The two you get is all there is. Nothing fast, nothing wide and nothing more without the FTZ adaptor. A 10-20 equivalent, quality mid-range zoom and fast primes would kill on this body. So where are they, Nikon? Only a 18-140 travel zoom is on the road map, and that's simply not good enough. Please don't repeat the F-mount DX fiasco and take decades to produce a decent range of crop-frame glass! Pretty please?Oh, and you have to get 3rd party lens hoods; there's nothing in the kit. Boo.Addendum (1/10). I have subsequently done some more optical tests comparing the 50-250 DX Z and Nikkor 70-300E f/4.5-5.6E ED VR (FX). My conclusion is that the difference in image quality is not that great. The latter is bigger, heavier and more expensive, as well as adding an extra bit of reach. The kit lens holds its own over much of the shared range, although it's a tad slower, benefits from stopping down where possible, and isn't too convincing past 200mm. But it wins big-time or size, weight, portability and balance. Nice.

Great camera, compact and easy to carry around. I find the auto focus a little hard to get used to but I'll get there. Not many lenses to buy, I mainly use a 10 - 20 mm zoom and had to buy the adapter to use my old lenses and I find it a bit heavy and longer than I would have liked. But, in saying all that it is a lovely camera to use.

The camera comes with only two languages which was strange luckily it had English and the other being Hindi. Odd considering it for UK market the charger is not of UK plug and the provided adapter doesn't fit the charge. I had to go buy a sperate adaptor to charge I wish this could be resolved. But I doubt Amazon will reply.I was scared that I got a fake product but everything else seems genuine. Idk if there is a way to verify the products authenticity.

still getting to grips with the Z50, this is somewhat easier if you've used a Nikon DSLR before however it does take sometime to get used to all the features. so its a camera for a 'committed' amateur.The camera is compact and light and so great to use when travelling. I love the ease of transferring photos to my phone or laptop and images are of a really high quality.

This camera is a powerful little thing, excellent image quality even with the kit lenses (16mm - 50mm and 50mm - 250mm) very good auto focus (fast), battery life is reasonable but can drain over heavy use. I love this camera, its light and easy to use with more or less one handed controls. It's a great entry level camera for enthusiasts and I guess pro-amatures and has most the functions and quality aspects from its bigger brothers - the Z6 and Z7. Great camera!!

As a semiprofessional photographer I needed a camera that offered the advantages of the DX angle of you for some of my work. I already use the Z6 series, but I found this camera to be absolutely excellent for professional work as a carry around camera for days out. It’s light, functional, sharp, in fact, a perfect camera for travel when you don’t want to lug around other professional kit. Having said that this is not a professional camera and should not be seen as one. I very much doubt it’s whether sealing would hold out in heavy rain or it will be very durable in dusty or sandy conditions. For that you need something like the D series camera or the Z6/Z7. I would however strongly recommend this camera with this complete kit of two lenses. You can also fit the lens mount adapter for this camera and use your F Mount lenses other lenses so you can get the extra reach the DX.

I ordered a Nikon z50 unfortunately it turned out camera is meant to be for the USA, Canada, Brazil market . I contacted Nikon to check this camera, they said " the camera is not European market, and you will not be eligible for a warranty repair with Nikon UK " . Also The camera does not have an extended version of languages. I am returning the item.
